So, for many good reasons I have decided to schedule the release the game for early next year. This makes much more sense for me and the development schedule.
However, I do plan to still finish the game development by the end of this year so it can be played and tested by the play testers.
This also gives me time to advertise the game and spread the word before release.
So the game will hopefully be ready for Early Access by the end of year, and I hope to release it January or February. Stay tuned!
